Game Boards

The game Ti Ta To (Ten pawns) is a local traditional game that most Haitians learn growing up as a child. Games are usually played on the ground scratching game boards in the dirt and using fruit and stones for playing pieces.  The piece movement is simple like checkers, yet the strategy can be as daunting as chess, which is why even adults find it a challenging game.

Through a collaborative effort with Zoë Alliance, we happy to offer Ti Ta To outside of Haiti. Each game board is hand made using local workers ONLY. Open Door Haiti is committed to the idea of self-sustainability, and with the Ti Ta To game purchases you can be assured you are providing real job opportunities and a means for Haitian people to support themselves and have a real sense of pride about them.

On top of this job creation, Zoë Alliance donates a portion of the game board purchase directly back to Open Door Haiti ministries. Monies are then utilized to create more job opportunities as well as support the vocational training facility designed to teach the Haitian people essential skills that can be utilized throughout the community.

Hand crafted by the local artisans of Bois de Lance, Haiti, this entertaining board game is a mix of the strategic challenge of Chess and the unexpected windfalls of Checkers. Inspired by Haitian village children, this exquisite game set makes a beautiful décor piece and an excellent gift.
